Welcome to the Forum. Good luck with the repairs and servicing of your Crossfire. Regarding the ride (I don't seem to have much ride comfort (just a little too rigidly bumpy for me), the short wheelbase is the culprit. Throughout the forum in various discussions the ride is negatively mentioned. After all, it is a sports car. (Sports cars are designed with performance the priority, while regular cars focus on comfort, practicality, and efficiency) That said have fun! -CFK
